DS90C185SQ/NOPB

Overview

The DS90C185SQ/NOPB is a low-power serializer from Texas Instruments designed for FPD-Link applications. It converts parallel LVCMOS data into a serial LVDS stream. The device supports a maximum data rate of 2.94 Gbps across four differential output pairs. It accepts up to 28 parallel inputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V. The component functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. It is housed in a 48-pin WQFN package with an exposed pad, suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• Converts parallel digital video data into a high-speed serial LVDS format
• Supports low-power operation compatible with FPD-Link standards
• Integrates multiple differential outputs for efficient signal transmission

Applications

• Mobile phone camera interfaces
• Automotive display systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SQ' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and packaging configuration. Ensure that the NOPB designation aligns with current RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate all electrical specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel serializer is required for short-distance, high-bandwidth video transmission. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing low power consumption and minimal board space. Consider alternative models if higher channel counts or different input/output configurations are necessary for the specific application architecture.
